Redipo Abdominal Mat Ab Exercise Mat Lower Back Support- Sit Up Pad - Core Trainer Mat for Men & Women Strengthening and Shaping Comprehensive Ab Workouts

I’ve been using this mat for three months now. It has held up to regular use - I work out three times a week and use almost every time. As other reviewers have stated, it is very firm and thick. When I used ab mats at my local gym, they were softer and slimmer, but that may be because they were used so often. This one is so firm and thick that it doesn’t just support your back, but when you lean back over it for a situp, it raises your lower back above the natural horizontal position. When I started using it, I thought I would have to return it. But after a while, I found it to actually stretch my back in a good way. I’ve had lower back issues, and that slight stretching of the lower spine has done good by me. It’s also good support for exercises like ab crunches where you don’t bend all the way back over the hump.If you’re looking for gentle support of your back when doing situps, look elsewhere. But if you’re looking for a thick and firm mat, this is highly recommended.

The pad is well made, but its foam is too hard or too tall, forcing an excessive curve on the back.The original AbMat is of the same dimensions, but much softer, so it curves your back much less.I ended up removing the internal foam and reducing its height by about 3/4 inch. That make it perfect, but the cover is now too big. I used duct tape to fix that, but it is not the prettiest.

The padding is good the bottom pad could be a little thicker though good product though.

Perfect little plus for additional ab intensity allowing you to get a full extension through your core

Perfect

Study, comfy.

I like this mat is support my lower back when I am on the floor doing my exercise.

Very stiff
